In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter
>>and Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a
>>discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of
>>their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists
>>had no such recognized days.
>>
>> The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the
>> passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel
>> declaring,"Case dismissed!"
>>
>>The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your
>>honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have
>>Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and
>>Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."
>>
>> The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your
>> client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."
>>
>>The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special
>>observance or holiday for atheists."
>>
>>The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day.
>>Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.'
>>Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says
>>there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day.
>>Court is adjourned."

My husband has some doubts as to whether this is completely accurate. He did say though, that he could recall someone filing a complaint in federal court regarding federal employees getting a day off with pay at Christmas connected to the 1st amendment.
He says the court threw it out because of "failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted." (Hope I got that right.) It seems when you file acomplaint in court, you have to show that you have been harmed and he couldn't show that he had been harmed by federal employees getting a day off with pay at Christmas.
